The holistic philosophy is to nurture and nourish the entire being – the body, emotions, mind, and spirit. It doesn’t matter where we start, as long as we also include the other areas.
When it comes to mental health, a holistic approach considers how a person’s well-being is impacted by the spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical parts of the self. At Wholistic Counselling and Wellness, we provide counselling and therapy services from the whole-person perspective, as we believe that healing takes place when all parts of our self are seen and cared for.
Hi, I'm Michelle
There are many reasons why people decide to engage in therapy. Maybe you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you have experienced a great loss or change in your life. Or perhaps you are a cycle breaker, and after years of intergenerational trauma you are ready to say “this ends with me”. Maybe you feel it’s time to step into your full potential, to live a life filled with meaning and purpose. Whatever your reasons may be, they are valid and important, and I am honoured that you are here.
I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on evidence-based interventions and alternative and complimentary approaches for healing. My therapeutic framework includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Hypnotherapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness. I am a Certified Hypnotherapist, a Certified Trauma Recovery Counsellor, and a Certified Grief Support Counsellor. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a type of therapy used to achieve rapid benefits that is particularly helpful for treating trauma symptoms.
